Ha! I nearly bought that very car when it was on ebay a few years ago (2007?)! It's a lovely example, being a widebody...
That's when I bought it

The 155 is one of my all time alfa favorites. Would love one as a garage queen.
This weekends challenge, can I fit 17" Rims with 225/45 Tyres under the Q4 arches - I have a nice set of winter tyres sitting here and with 4WD I reckon the Q4 could be a fun water hack
The 75 is a car that seemed to pass me by. I did look at 33's when younger but then got distracted and they seemed to slip under the radar.
RWD and V6, its a recipe for a great car but admit my knowledge is limited, any offers of a ride, welcomed.
I had fallen out of love with the Q4, it was draining my wallet, overboosting, cutting out and spitting out water and oil at every opportunity, it just couldn't be trusted. So I packed it off to http://www.aforalfa.co.uk and told them to sort it out and there it has stayed.
Today I had to drop the SZ in for an MOT and the only transport to get home was the Q4. Well STUNNED is the only thing I can say, Paul has done his magic, no leaks and the boost just builds and builds. From 2500 rpm it is like a tap starts as a drip but as you open it up it becomes a deluge and on boost the thing is awesomely quick, I reckon its a good job it has uprated brakes and coil over suspension to handle it all.
It still burns a bit of oil and is in desperate need of some bodywork tidying but now I remember why I bought it in the first place - Alfas you just have to love them
It's probably the best's ever been, progressive boost and stonkingly quick - very happy but there is much more to come as we chase down the oil burning, custom map and then a full respray.
